Can you live without your #Smartphone??? In another survey released last week by Bank of America, nearly half of the Americans say they could not go a day without their smartphone. To reach this conclusion, researchers divided a group of 163 college students into light, moderate and heavy smartphone users. Half the students sat in silence without their phones and half with them turned off and out of sight.
